Volkswagen Arteon in-depth review - Carbuyer

[@eyeCU13]

To be honest I like the car. It looks cool and it has character. The fact that many don't appreciate it, actually makes me like it even more. I hate following the crowd anyway. The interior may feel a bit boring, but it's still quite sharp and it will hold very well over time.

[@TekcanSami]

Every comment points the interior okay I got you it has the same interior with the Passat I agree BUT , The Audi A4 and A5 has got the same interior don't beleive me check it and the BMW 3 series has got the same interior with the 4 Series .... I mean come on when it is a PREMIUM Brand nobody cares but when VW did every one gets mad .

[@silvanocergnul5531]

Sami Tekcan i share your opinion.

[@mahadali619]

It’s fine as long the interior is premium, VW’s isn’t.

[@silvanocergnul5531]

MahadAli i have a current model VW Passat. 150k km’s in 2.5 yrs and the interior is as new. This experienced quality made me order an Arteon after comparing it with the German mid size so called premium models. I used to drive three times a 3 series and one A4 the last 10 years so i know what i’m talking about.

[@mahadali619]

Silcer the durability of VW is no problem at all, it’s the feel of materials and the look of them at which I think VW lacks in

[@AR-fw5bn]

MahadAli bullshit. The bmw interior is not premium at all

[@greenviper46]

Great review ! don't bother with the haters, well rounded critique of the car.

[@carlossievers710]

The car is awesome, the review isn't. I don't understand why people compares VW's interior with other ones, VW always did cars with "simple" interiors. If you are looking for luxury, how about to buy an AUDI, BMW or Mercedes?

[@SiyathWidyaratne]

Absolutely brilliant to include a FULL Size spare wheel! Great Review as always James :)

[@Moisi547]

They'll need to improve on the interior

[@bonobobob]

Good review.I like this guy.He's one industrial accident (or whatever) away from becoming the Joker.

they should apply this design language on the Golf ...it would be a game changer!

[@Grant0610]

I don’t think I have ever seen one of these on the road! Is it still on sale? 😬

[@genemolineux6864]

Fantastic car! Love the Omega Seamaster!

[@scatton61]

I drive a Peugeot 3008 and it has the same way of displaying a HUD and it works fine and is not distracting in the least. I

[@ZanderKaneUK]

Yah I do love how his personal opinions on safety equipment are backed up with facts as to why it's bad, oh one minute he just glossed over why /slow clap.

[@davidshoulder4098]

I'm sorry to hear you drive a Peugeot 3008 I really hope things look up soon for you.

[@scatton61]

Very funny... Actually i am enjoying driving it.... diesel hybrid (Who knew?)

[@scottishfanta]

Cue the "oh I thought this was a car wow video" Comments!

[@CryptoChangingTheWorld]

scottishfanta Dumb people on here say he's shit, yet, they watch it and pay the channel!

[@MICHGO1]

I CAN UNDERSTAND JAMES, MAT'S MUMBLING IS HARD TO LISTEN TO.

[@beefchillingham6790]

Vw is still making diesels?

[@squidula]

Who keeps a giant bag of crisps in their glove box?

[@ilovecars2558]

Stuebydoo no one.

[@robertberning3884]

Me.

[@alliancemad]

You said we have the most powerful engine here, you mean the most power diesel engine as the most powerful engine in the range is the 276bhp petrol.

[@PrettygirlMisha]

That scenery is breathtaking 😫❤

[@adam145]

I remember reading a review of the Arteon some time ago that started with words "Don't let anyone tell you it's a Passat in a different body kit" My cousin got it, and after some time in the car I can tell you "Don't let anyone tell you that it's not a Passat in a different body kit" Interior is most certainly not an upgrade and the 2 liter engine is nothing to write home about. It could be a fill-in between Passat and Phaeton, but since the latter is nowhere to be seen, I have no idea what is this supposed to be.

[@j.a.g.8689]

i have a question is this even on sale yet and will it it be in the U.S

[@TerryLestrange]

It just looks briljant!

[@az958]

Interior is the same in all VW cars. Nothing new here!!

[@CARS_AT_100]

did you see gli interior, different bruh

[@az958]

CARS AT 100 we dont hv gli's in europe. But i think u maybe talking about a jetta? I doubt the interior would be better on a jetta but could be different.

[@jin5632]

What about BMW's interior?

[@jeremyv11000]

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

[@hanssiegling8262]

That's why they sell so well.

[@TheRockrm]

Just because he sounds a little feminine does not mean he’s not a great reviewer

[@bicky210]

Leo Nidas you're hateful... Bad day?

[@TheRockrm]

Leo Nidas yawn

[@Naoufalitos24]

Backhanded compliment

[@CARS_AT_100]

Like the body on this car

[@JohnnyZenith]

Stopped listening to you when you said the HUD is distracting. I have a HUD like that. It is a completely non distracting experience.

[@greenvalley651]

boy, you really sound like you do not like vw, right?why ? can jaguar do better with a car three times the price of the Arteon?

[@cartmann227]

Steven Barclay wrong answer think again

[@petaraleric5967]

Jaguar is, it sounds weird, but very behind the vw nowadays. Vw is much better choice :)

[@mister_jon_jon]

Beautiful car! For being a VW.

[@CARS_AT_100]

i boight gli and happy with it too

[@MOSSFEEN]

PISS BORING

[@msm2267]

Save your money and get a skoda superb

[@saltinecracker6586]

In a America we should get this and the Touareg back but they should be expecting low sals expectations so maybe they should do what they did with the Mercedes Benz r class and you have to order it

[@RAMANOFFICIAL1]

Cant wait to buy it in 2023

[@AG-jh1ky]

Every review of the arteon is a high end R line...for once I'de like to see a midrange model...those low profile tires will last less than a month before being damaged by potholes in my neck off the woods.can you actually order one with 17 or 16 inch wheels?

[@sul5128]

Exterior looks pretty good, but unfortunately the interior is not

[@davidhuysmans67]

A VW properly premium? ? ? :-)

[@Mentis-de]

So basically the BMW GT opposite from VW. I saw the car today on the street. Doesnt stand out of the crowd to be honest.

[@GrumpyMansREVIEWS]

It does look nice

[@shopwithaaron]

Wish a few more long shots of the exterior.... since that does not look like the Passat....Thanks for the first review I've seen here in America.

[@crackedcookies]

"load lip" - how many people have you ever heard utter this phrase? No one? Yeah.

[@adityapatil8566]

What's the effect at 0:27 called ?

[@swanblake]

The biggest problem I have with this car js the Audi A4. Should have made this rwd or something that isn't a same priced Audi without the badge

[@AR-fw5bn]

Blake Swan rwd is inferior to fwd

[@kraenk12]

It's not even the same platform and has way more space.

[@sakichugouken2474]

0:39: dude have you seen A4 and A5 interior? not the same at all right?

[@sachinmb6479]

4:39 why so serious .:)

[@showrav360degree6]

Very beautiful

[@Myst3ryM4nn]

Arteon vs C180 ?

[@wakandaforever5732]

You have VW who sits in the space between Audi and common ford or Vauxhall cars. Compare this to a fake premium car like a Ford Mondeo Vignale and 90% of those would chose the arteon This IS better looking than a Audi A5 fastback. If you still don’t want to plump the cash for this look at a Skoda Superb Sportline!

[@You-are-right-but]

Really Nice exterior. Total turn off boring passatt clone interior.

[@fernandocavazos2761]

I really miss my Passat diesel version! No more diesel in usa .

[@JMNTN]

so skoda becomes vw and vw falls in between audi and skoda

[@manomega1]

It's not Arse - ion... it's Artion (with a T) from the Greek word Άρτιον meaning intact , complete..

[@lionheart.5983]

I want a vw passat b8 with the rear of arteon

[@rachidbendahar3594]

Beautiful car...

[@You-are-right-but]

Glad its got a full size spare. Better than being stuck at the side of the road with a useless aerosol can like me in my BMW.

[@zainscooby]

Your BMW should have run flat tyres, so the lack of a spare isn't an issue.

[@You-are-right-but]

Zain Thats what the marketing and sales guys tell us. Its only true for minor punctures not real life.

[@sasajungic89]

fakefake539 I have the same shit in my car 😂

[@Rottensteam]

If conservatism gone wild was a thing, then this would be it, lol.

[@r.k1050]

To be honest..its a nice car but looks like a passat..looks a bit boring too.

[@Bwause83]

so this car is a volkswagen passat? with other headlights? but everything else, even the interior is the same? and it costs WAY more? even if it is the same car? with a different name? ok

[@clementgranier854]

In fact it does not cost much more than a passat ; it just comes with a lot of equipment that you are free not to take on a passat. But once you've fully equipped both cars, the price is similar.

[@8G00SE8]

00:01, It is the case, It's a Phaeton!

[@namtrader9674]

You're trying too hard to say "Volkswagen"

[@spencoir1]

VW cannot manipulate the premium market like bmw or Mercedes this car is ridiculously optimistic (and l like vws)

[@AJ-Bruno]

“Struggling for headroom”

[@Matt-vq8jz]

Not really sure why the rear bench needs to be any different than what it is in a car like this. Claustrophobic? Who cares!

[@MICHGO1]

DARK COLORS MAKE ALL CAR INTERIORS FEEL CLAUSTROPHOBIC. IF YOU DON'T MIND GLOOMY FINE, OTHERS MAY CARE.

[@darwenrover8910]

A bit of a passing resemblance to the Rover 800 with its fastback bodystyle.

[@InteriorDesignAnderson]

If I'm honest I'd rather just get a normal Passat or spend a bit more money and get a BMW 4 series or Audi A5

[@jarforsythe]

VW interiors are always well thought out, but are never very exciting to the eyes. Possibly it’s because they usually give reviewers all black interiors?

[@mikelykan.9416]

I used to love the VW Scoroccio until the idiot's in Volkswagen decided to cease importing that particular model into the UK it's a shame, however this doe's make up for their disappointing decision.

[@evilangels1359]

am i the only one who feels a bit uneasy when reviewers say " TONS of knee room" , like a measurement of weight is used for measuring distance. i know it's just a casual way of saying it, but still .

[@MICHGO1]

MORE INTERESTING THAN INCHES OF KNEE ROOM.

[@sigsauer1993]

cant ignore his lisping, great review though

[@mjozic3785]

The interior is boring and for example the Audi A3 or A4 isn’t?????

[@rickmeijer5245]

He said boring phfff you call that boring it’s nicer than an Audi so nexst time speak for your shelf

[@paddydowney6269]

The VW configurator is telling me that a similar spec Arteon to my 420d gran coupe m sport is just €500 cheaper?? And that’s just a few options added, nothing fancy. Sorry, I won’t be changing.

[@johanfagerstromjarlenfors]

It looks exactly like the passat on the outside and inside and of course cause it is a vw it looks exactly like all vw cars since 1990... It took me nearly the whole video until i understood why he didn't said passat but arteon.....

[@TheForsaken939]

Too bad it only looks good on the outside. Inside beauty is important too :)

[@SagaAcademica]

well of course it feels like a passat, it is a passat. They just gave him different name so they can charge you more. Although this is no luxury car, this is a passat lol

[@colinbampton6120]

Quentin Wilson is your dad.

[@stojadinsport]

Is it only to me that Arteon look like Talisman?

[@Sepolden]

Agreed - very nice looking car....1990’s dashboard....what the heck VW???

[@vladmihai306]

you had virtual cockpit in the 1990s?

[@Memories-_]

You look taller than 5"10 on camera. If you said you were 6"1 i would believe you

[@You-are-right-but]

Dezz9820 true but for most people, its their fat arse that ends up causing them to need more head room cos of the butt-cushion effect. This guy is quite skinny.

[@Memories-_]

fakefake539 the butt cushion effect is real certainly

[@vidpetelin3747]

It's not a four door car if the boot opens with the rear window.

[@oscardavies1591]

Vid Petelin but it has 4 doors tho

[@vidpetelin3747]

Its boot is a door though

[@oscardavies1591]

Vid Petelin lets just agree it’s a fast back then lol

[@kraenk12]

It's a five door, true.

[@supernova4300]

In 3 years the headliner starts falling on your head and the markings on the buttons disappear 👎

[@MICHGO1]

17 YRS. LATER MY VW HEADLINER IT TIGHT AS CAN BE.

[@supernova4300]

MICHGO1 lucky u. 22 years later my Camry Headliner was still in perfect condition. Saw the car this year and its still in good shape. Cant say the same for the VWs I know

[@MICHGO1]

WELL I'LL LET YOU KNOW IN 5 YEARS. SO FAR IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS IT DID 17YRS. AGO.

[@scoopermg8226]

Nothing new! Typical dull restraint.

[@AndrewGruffudd]

I don't think he sounds feminine at all. Not Chuck Norris by any means - more a sort of updated Quentin Willson

[@potatoaydin4112]

So vw owns Audi

[@mrortega468]

Whatever mate , It’s a Passat in a slightly new jacket.

[@ITALYRS]

lol sorry this isnt worth 40k

[@iliutaovidiu9815]

4 door ''coupe'' ? pal , you need to fix your goddamn vision.

[@tomheard7844]

Don’t like it

[@rwg2626]

It looks the same as all VW, boring inside and out

[@seanhoniball8386]

Matt was so much better

[@mrhenrikl]

Please, learn how to pronounce Volkswagen. Anyway, interesting to hear the comments and see the interior that certainly doesn't match the much nicer exterior which is disappointing.

[@mikekouroumichalis9877]

Nice review but the car is nothing special.

[@varolussalsanclar1163]

[@drugamachannel6711]

Por fora bonito mas dentro meio básico

Boring

[@eightpool1114]

"Plastic plastic blah blah" motherfuckers not all cars are for rich people and not all cars meant be sporty.

[@sasajungic89]

EIGHT Pool yeah they expect full leather interior on any car. Of course we all like a premium interior but they need to be realistic. It's really expensive to manufacture and like in any car you need to cut corners

[@MICHGO1]

I HEARD HIM PRAISE THE QUALITY OF THE PLASTICS. EVEN THE POOR LIKE QUALITY.

[@tonys9413]

This guy has some nervous, self conscious, behavioral ticks that are distracting from the substance of the presentation. Should keep his day job!

[@mfd7289]

Ruairi Mccarthy lol you own a poor mans VW. Piss off hahaha.

[@Rolands269]

A good equipped Arteon costs the same as a good equipped Audi A7. So why would anyone buy this?

[@AR-fw5bn]

Rolands Galaida it looks the same as the a7

[@Shaquazam]

Username Galaida just wrong. The a7 costs a lot more.

[@Rolands269]

Dee Jay I've seen an A7 3.0 bittdi with less than 20k km mileage and fully equipped for 70k € in my town. It's as good as new. And then I saw an arteon for 73k €. How about that?

[@kraenk12]

That's pure BS- It doesn't even cost as much as a good equipped A5.

[@kraenk12]

Username Comparing used several year old cars with a brandnew one. Some people will do everything to suit their agenda.
